Brooklynites can’t vote on Super Tuesday, but that doesn’t mean they can’t enjoy a little Santorum.

A Fourth Avenue watering hole is pouring a delightfully sinful drink named after Republican presidential hopeful Rick Santorum — and the dirty Google problem that has haunted him ever since he irked syndicated sex columnist Dan Savage.

“People really like it even though it’s named after something gross — both the person and the Dan Savage meaning,” said John Rauschenberg, co-owner of Pacific Standard. “It’ll be an election fixture at least until primary season is over.”

The duo behind the beer hole near St. Mark’s Place often put out cocktails with suggestive names, such as the Corn Holed Fashioned or Mike Gallego’s Cup.

But the Santorum, a milky mixture of Baileys, orange vodka, bitters and chocolate flakes, seems to be sticking.

“When he was winning in the polls, I thought, ‘OK, I’ll do a Santorum,’” said Jon Stan, co-owner and creator of the scandalous social lubricant. “We’ll keep it around until he’s irrelevant. I hope he’s there the whole way.”

The other usage of the candidate’s name began spreading in 2003, when Savage, a popular sex writer and gay rights activist, mounted a campaign to shame the then-Senator for his comments linking homosexuality with bestiality.

The website promoting this prurient term spiraled to the top of Google’s search results, and it so rankled the social conservative and sweater-vest connoisseur that he demanded Google remove it from the company’s search engine index.

The definition is: "The frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the by-product of anal sex."

The last thing I want is a newspaper that tries to protect some vague notion of "sensibility." Who are you protecting? The 5-year-olds who don't read your paper? Come on, we're all adults here.

I agree with Moses. What's the point of protecting the actual name?

Can't decide what sounds better -- Santorum the drink or the various cakes and pies that have been created in homage to him. Here's one called "President Santorum Frothy Chocolate Cream Pie."http://apocalypsecakes.wordpress.com/2012/03/13/president-santorum-frothy-chocolate-cream-pie/
